I am pregnant with our fourth little one, due on February 28, and we won't be finding out the sex. We have three girls so far: Philippa Violet (called Pippa more or less exclusively since birth), Romilly Alice (called Ro around the house), and Beatrix Joanna (called both Bea and Trix). If this one is a girl, we are more or less set on Juniper, called June or Junie for short. Our last name is Young, which is pretty easy to work with, but you have to watch the initials (Graham Angus Young might be a bit of a burden!)
If it's a boy, we have issues. My husband is English with a Scottish mother, and we lived in Scotland for a few years, so we definitely want to stick with names that are distinctly British, and maybe less common here in America although that's not a must.
I have had a long standing love for the name Gus, and the name Angus with nickname Gus has been a frontrunner for the last two girls, had they been boys. I love it, but it would definitely be a concession for my husband. Lately, even I'm not loving how Scottish it is compared to our girls' very English names. We've considered every other possible name that can be shortened to Gus, and Angus is really the only one we both like.
My husband's long-time favorite boys' name is Barnaby, and I'm loving it more and more with the nickname Barnes. BUT we've made a conscious effort so far to avoid duplicating initials and now that we have a Beatrix... well, it's no longer ideal. We might be willing to bend the rule for this one, but we'd rather find something that's a perfect fit if it's out there.
Recently we've been talking a lot about Simon. I love it, he just likes it, but I think it could work. It's a lot more common than our girls' names, but maybe that's better for a boy?
Other names we've talked about (and their issues), just to give you a feel for our taste: Thaddeus (but we don't love any of its nicknames), Graham (sounds a little too plain to his Bristish ear), Oliver and Sebastian (both getting too popular for our liking).
We'll use a family middle name, probably one of these: Merit, Hopkins, or Murray; but there are others if none of those fit with the first name we choose.
Can you tell we've thought about this *way* too much? I think having three girls has just made us insecure in our ability to choose a boys' name, and maybe all the ones we used to love have gone a little stale from years of disuse :) Anyway, I would welcome any thoughts on these names or additions to the list.
Just as with Friday's post, I have to beg for reader assistance: Is there a Brit in the house?
I'll tell you how I went about finding out the scraps I DO know, but this is for general knowledge since I'm not sure it's going to be helpful in this situation.
- FIRST, I picked up my copy of The Baby Name Wizard and looked at it bleakly: it lists names that "sound English to American ears," which is great for me because that's what I like. That's no help, though, for people like your husband who are from ACTUAL England. Thus my bleak expression.
- Suddenly inspired, I flipped to the BACK of the book and looked at the Resource List. I found this URL for England/Wales: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=184.
- I clicked on "Last five years top 100 boys names," but that's all Top 100, of course, and you're looking for something a little less common.
- I looked bleakly at my copy of The Baby Name Wizard again.
- I rallied. I like Top 100 and English-sounding; maybe you will too when I get done pressuring you.
So here is a list of names I think are good possibilities, chosen from the Top 100 U.K. names and/or The Baby Name Wizard's list of English names. None of them are even in the Top 1000 in the U.S., and they sound appealingly British to my U.S. ears, and none of them repeat initials with the other children's names.
Let's try each name with the sibling names:
Philippa, Romilly, Beatrix, and Alfie
Philippa, Romilly, Beatrix, and Alistair
Philippa, Romilly, Beatrix, and Archie
Philippa, Romilly, Beatrix, and Callum
Philippa, Romilly, Beatrix, and Corin
Philippa, Romilly, Beatrix, and Edmund
Philippa, Romilly, Beatrix, and Harvey
One of my two favorites from the list is Edmund. I think it's solid and boyish, and it has a good nickname. I like it with any of your middle name options, but especially with Merit: Edmund Merit Young (EMY).
I'm also drawn to Alistair. Alistair Young is fantastic, and Alistair has the same number of syllables and the same short-i sound as all the girl names. I like Alistair with Merit, too, but then the initials spell AMY. So I think I'd choose Hopkins: Alistair Hopkins Young (AHY). Love. it.
Time for the poll. I'll put your finalists in with mine, and put the whole poll over to the right. [Poll closed; see below.]
Poll results (256 votes total):
Angus (Gus): 18 votes, roughly 7%
Barnaby (Barnes): 24 votes, roughly 9%
Simon: 37 votes, roughly 14%
Alfie: 3 votes, roughly 1%
Alistair: 69 votes, roughly 27%
Archie: 9 votes, roughly 4%
Callum: 51 votes, roughly 20%
Corin: 6 votes, roughly 2%
Edmund: 34 votes, roughly 13%
Harvey: 5 votes, roughly 2%
Name update! Jodi writes:
Thanks so much to you and your readers for all your help with our boys' name situation. In the end, we didn't need it! We welcomed our 4th *daughter*, Juniper Lucy Young, early Wednesday morning, and I guess we will never know what she would have been called had she been a boy :)

You can vent the entire bath group with an 1 1/2" pipe but..... you need to go through the roof with 3" minimum
What is the smallest size of vent pipe that can be used to go up from the stack and through the roof? Total load is one toilet, 1 lav sink, 1 shower, 1 kitchen sink. I live in MA if that matters.
Rick A.
You can vent the entire bath group with an 1 1/2" pipe but..... you need to go through the roof with 3" minimum
IT is a local code question, but in many cases a toilet needs a 2" minimum vent, and the TOTAL area, NOT diameters, of the vents out the roof has to equal the AREA of the incoming sewer.
IPC states that the plumbing sytem must have a minimum of one vent through the roof that is 1/2 the size of the building drain which in most cases would be 4" for residential service so... there must be at least one 2" vent through the roof. However in colder climates state and local ammendments will require the vent to be increased to a minimum of 3" where it makes the roof penetration and perhaps 4" in some places. In my state we have to increase to 3" and that 3" must extend 18" below the roof line and at least 12" above.

I have a water softener that performs on-demand regeneration based on the amount of water we use. Ever since we replaced our old water heater (gas-fired) with an indirect tank off a boiler, we have been regenerating every 2-3 days. Looking at the softener diagnostics, it thinks there is a constant 0.5 gallon/minute draw - this is not the case. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how we can fix it? I've gone to scheduled regeneration, but I'd prefer the monitoring setup.
More details:
The softener is plumbed with a feed direct from the city, and the output tees to the water heater and to our cold water supply. The pipe from the softener to the heater is a combination of 3/4" PEX and 3/4" copper, totaling about 4 feet. The pipe is distinctly warm from the heater for about 18".
The heater is a large tank fed by a loop from our boiler, so it's not fired directly. We keep the tank at 160* and use a mixing valve to lower the output temperature. This is different from the old heater, which we kept at 115-120*.
The final weirdness is this. The water heater has two shutoff valves on the in and out sides. If I close the in-shutoff, the phantom water flow disappears from the softener diagnostics. If I close the out-shutoff, nothing happens.

5 reasons to pick a career in health care IT
Wanted: information technology professional eager to step out of the server room and work directly with health care providers. Must be willing to break new ground in medical technology and adapt to change. Desire for job security recommended. Clinical and nonclinical roles available. Associate or bachelor's degree required.
If that sounds appealing, you might consider a career in health care IT. Mary Anne Moore, an instructor in the bachelor's in health administration program at University of Phoenix and a 40-year health care IT consultant, offers five reasons to consider a job in this field:
You'll have a variety of places to work.
Health care IT covers an array of work environments, so you're not limited to hospitals. "You can work for a health insurance company, clinic, hospital, university, vendor, laboratory or pharmacy," Moore says.
She also cites health care IT's distinct culture as another thing that makes it special and attractive to IT professionals. "Even though you may not interact directly with patients, the work you do affects them,'' she says. "It's a culture of caring, unlike other industries where the bottom line might be more important."
It has great career prospects.
Whether in a hospital or nonclinical position, IT careers are here to stay — and growing. A report by the nonprofit Jobs for the Future shows that job postings in health care informatics increased by 36 percent from 2007 to 2011 — four times the growth rate of other health care careers. Moore says there are even more jobs available in health care IT for those willing to work in consulting or education.
Collaboration is encouraged.
Dislike the idea of being trapped in a dark room with nothing but the glow of the computer screen to keep you company? Health care IT is an industry for people who enjoy collaboration. "You often work directly with clinicians on projects," Moore points out, "so you have the opportunity to see firsthand what your work is accomplishing."
There's always something new to do.
"The one fun thing about health care is that we are just scratching the surface of what IT applications are capable of," Moore says. "You will never be bored."
Yen Hoe Lee, a health informatics security director, agrees. "It is a very exciting time for this field because a lot of medical devices are connected to a network and need to be protected," notes Lee, who helped develop the curriculum for the University's associate in health care IT program. "The Food and Drug Administration has even issued a warning to all hospitals to ensure that these devices are secure from cyberattacks."
Advancement opportunities abound.
Almost every industry gives you the chance to work your way up the career ladder, but health care is one of the few that constantly adds rungs to climb. "Because the use of technology in the clinical environment is so new,'' Moore says, "there are new roles evolving all the time."

While the Preferences utility is missing, this may be a simple oversight on Apple's part.
Most preferences in OS X are stored directly in the user's Preferences folder; however, within this folder is a directory called ByHost that contains other commonly used preferences.
In OS X Lion Apple has added a new option for customizing the system preferences, allowing you to conveniently show or hide individual preference panes.
When application settings do not stick in OS X, it's easy to just remove the preferences file; however, sometimes it's useful to investigate the problem a little before doing this.
Apple's Magic Mouse has special system settings for managing its multitouch input surface; however, sometimes these system settings don't load properly.
Several users have experienced an issue where System Preferences will not open properly or freeze when opening in Snow Leopard.
Government policies that express preferences for open source can help fuel adoption, but government mandates arguably achieve the opposite.
Applications in OS X save preferences to property list (.plist) files in various preferences folders; however, sometimes multiple copies of a specific plist file may accumulate in the same folder.
System Preferences Access
One relatively rare problem in Snow Leopard a few people have experienced is a corruption in the Displays system preferences that results in a "do not localize" message listed in the resolution list.

I debated buying a ring online but after doing a lot of research I found everyone claiming that you pay way too much in a jewelry store unless you are very good at haggling them down. I saw this ring, read the reviews, and took a chance, knowing I had 30 days to return. I received the ring 2 days later, BIG PLUS! When I got the ring my first thought was...beautiful. Tons of sparkle and beautifully polished white gold, must be platinum bonded because it was a pure silver color. I thought at first it was a little smaller then I wanted but once I asked her to marry me and I put it on her finger it was not as small as I thought! She absolutely loves it. Before I gave it to her I went and had it appraised and here are the results:18k white gold (not 14), platinum bondedColor - G center stone, H both side stones.90 total carat weight (since the diamonds are already set you cannot get the true weight, they rely on measurements and calculations. She told me this could differ by .05 either way)TOTAL APPRAISED VALUE = $2970Overall --- extremely pleased!!!!
The stones were smaller than I expected, but the ring did have very nice diamonds
This ring is spectacular. It's not too, too big (gaudy) but the diamonds are definitely stars of the show. It sparkles like crazy and I can't help but glance down at it throughout the day. I, like others, was leery of ordering jewelry online, but I'm thrilled beyonds words with this and so glad I did!! I took it to a local jewelry (due to my initial concern) and his exact words were, "You did really good. These diamonds are nice." I did decide to pair this with another purchase from Overstock of a 'matching' Anello band; it's a 1/3 carat princess cut diamonds band in white gold. Adding that to this already gorgeous ring...it completely set it off!!! I'm in love with them both!!! Wouldn't hesitate to shop with O again. Great experience and awesome results.
I used the ring as an engagement ring. My girlfriend liked it a lot. I also thought it looked good and would purchase a ring from overstock again.
Although pretty, I really expected a bigger center diamond. I am not complaining but I really wanted something bigger and the pictures make it look a LOT bigger than it is, It is a very pretty ring and my fiance loves it but if you want a true engagement ring get a solitaire. It is as advertised but don't let the pictures fool you. Ordered 2nd day air (they use UPS). I ordered on Friday and it was here on Tuesday.
Now I have not given the ring to my girlfriend yet, but in my opinion this ring is great! We had already discussed what her desired ring would look like and I feel this matches it perfectly. I am anxious to give it to her and am very confident she will love it! I was ecstatic to find a ring like this at the price I did it was a great value!

"Our invites were personalized to match our colours (navy). They turned out amazing and we also customized with a picture on the back as well. The quality of the paper and printing was amazing. Very happy with shipping, as it arrived to Canada very quickly. We are in the process of ordering our Thank you cards now. Thanks for all your help :)"
"I got this invitation for my wedding in the grey, with the ticket corners, and pearl shimmer finish. The invitations looks so expensive and I am already getting compliments on them. Would def recommend."
"The colors I picked turned out great (blush and grey) The invites are beautiful! Its SO worth the extra 10 cents to add the shine to them. They have a hint of shimmer and glitter. Im in love. I cant wait to send them out."
"These invitations are exactly how we imagined they would be. I had been looking for quite some time and nothing had really jumped out at us, and that is what we wanted. We did the pearl shimmer finish and rounded corners and it really added something extra. My fiance's favorite part, and one of mine as well, was the initials on the back. Something different, which is exactly what we were going for. Can't wait to send these out!"
"We've ordered samples of several invitations from several different sites and these were by far the best. The design is beautiful and really stands out on the shimmer paper. The fonts were exactly what we were looking for for our art deco wedding. Not only were these the best invitations we received samples of but also the least expensive. We will definitely be ordering these and the matching stationary for our wedding"

The first thing I'll look for, of course, is check if both are of the opposite gender. Sorry to all the yaoi/yuri fans out there, but I find it awkward shipping characters of the same gender ._. (of course, there's some exceptions such as Kinoshita Hideyoshi from Baka to Test <3)
The second thing is: do they have any relationships with each other? What is their relationship like? Are they just friends? One of the things I'll look for when shipping 2 characters is their conversation with each other. Body gestures also count when talking to each other. I don't really like shipping people with no relationship with each other (such as Dawn x Gary or something) if they never really met each other because speculating about "What if Gary meets Dawn" is just... ridiculous to me unless it really happened because in this case, true love would not exist >.< Is the love one sided or do both like each other?
The third thing is simply my opinion about shipping both of them together. Does it make sense? Do both of them make a fine pair? I am very partial to characters having a crush on someone when that person does not know that he/she is being liked because I find it cute. The number of hints and the fact that it's canon also makes a difference. Does a love triangle exist? I like love triangles because it generates conflict in a romance-esque plot. A rival can sometimes make a good romance plot even better, no matter if the rival is created solely to be hated by the fandom (Yoshida Kazumi from Shakugan no Shana) or simply just a guy who had a crush on the girl (Kain Highwind)
And I'd also categorize the type of characters that I'm shipping. Would a tsundere girl pair up with a nice guy nicely? Would a guy who's obsessed with bishojo games pair up with a female demon that doesn't act like a demon pretty nicely? It just depends on how well they match up.
I'm quite partial towards tragedy relationships where a man loves a woman but she does not reciprocate and the man develops some complex or something. This, however, does not happen when 2 girl likes 1 boy. It's more common on things that feature 2 boys liking 1 girl.
However, so far I've been talking about virtual relationships, not real world relationships. I would go that deep but there is not much rules relating to real world relationships.
Here are some of the ships that I support and why I support it based on the explanations I made above:
Sunohara Youhei x Sakagami Tomoyo
Justification: "Good relationship with each other" (By that, I mean they have a nice form of communication, even though it's not healthy in Youhei's side :P), quite a fine pairing (comedic relief character x tough girl character), and of course, they're both the opposite gender :P
Koizumi Itsuki x Haruhi Suzumiya
Surprised? Justification: "Tragedy relationship" because Haruhi x Kyon is more common and makes more sense. I'd like to call this kind of shipping the "Countercanon Ship" because Haruhi is of course, better off with Kyon because that's what basically moves the development of the anime. Why not Kyon x Haruhi then? Well... I also support those two, but I like to stress out that Kyon has 3 potential
wivesgirls and Koizumi possibly has none in terms of being canon. Give Koizumi some love and I think he's well off with Haruhi, or to a lesser extent, Nagato Yuki
And a lot more pairings that I support but some of them are hard to explain. Shipping is opinion after all, and opinions are most always not set in stone. Sometimes you can't explain why you like a particular thing. Sometimes it's just there inside your head, that you approve of this relationship.
And to conclude this essay, here are the 3 major points summarized:
Rule #1: Boy - Girl rule
Rule #2: Developed relationship between the characters.
Rule #3: Opinions always vary
Whew... that took some time to write.
@Dark Blueberry; You still draw?

Sarah and Yoanni met while riding their motorcycles. "I was riding one way down the road, and he was riding in the opposite direction," recalls Sarah. "At the next traffic light, he was suddenly right next to me—he did a U-turn just to talk to me!"
At their wedding, Sarah wore a Lazaro gown and fur shrug from Mariella Creations. Yoanni sported a Joseph Abboud tux from Formals by Antonio.

He (Martin Luther King) was very pure in mind and heart. He was a lover: a lover not only of his race but a lover of all mankind.

Love, like medicine, is only the art of encouraging nature.Pierre Ambroise Franois Choderlos de Laclos

Gov. Paul LePage on Thursday attempted to clarify his recent comment comparing the Internal Revenue Service to the Gestapo during a fundraiser in Vermont. However, the governor may instead have reignited a controversy that has made national headlines.
Gov. Paul LePage: "I just know that I'm a product of the American dream. I came from nothing and have been modestly successful. I have not had to worry about the IRS telling me I have to do things. I'd like to have my independence."
File photo / The Portland Press Herald
Gov. Paul LePage sips from a coffee mug displaying a message on the bottom in his office at the State House in Augusta in April.
2012 AP File Photo
Reporter: So, you've obviously stirred up a lot of controversy in the last week or so –
LePAGE: I did?
Reporter: Have you heard about any controversy?
LePAGE: Nah, I don't read newspapers.
Reporter: No controversy?
LePAGE: I never read newspapers.
Reporter: Maybe I've got the wrong governor. I'm kidding you.
Both laugh.
• • •
Reporter: So you're saying the IRS is heading in the direction of the Gestapo. Do you have a sense of what the Gestapo actually did during World War II?
LePAGE: Yeah, they killed a lot of people.
Reporter: And so the IRS is heading in that direction?
LePAGE: Yeah.
Reporter: They're headed in the direction of killing a lot of people?
LePAGE: Yeah.
Reporter: Are you serious?
LePAGE: Yeah, very serious. You know why?
Reporter: Tell me.
LePAGE: Rationing.
Reporter: Rationing.
LePAGE: They ration health care in Canada. That's why a lot of people from Canada come down to the U.S.
During an interview with a reporter from the Burlington weekly Seven Days, LePage said the IRS wasn't as bad as the Gestapo, the Nazi police force that imprisoned and murdered millions of Jews during World War II, but the agency was headed in that direction.
"What I am trying to say is the Holocaust was a horrific crime against humanity and, frankly, I would never want to see that repeated," LePage said. "Maybe the IRS is not quite as bad -- yet."
Seven Days reporter Paul Heintz asked, "But they're headed in that direction?"
LePage responded, "They're headed in that direction."
Heintz then asked LePage if he knew what the Gestapo did during World War II. LePage said, "Yeah, they killed a lot of people." Heintz asked if he thought the IRS was going to kill a lot of people.
"Yeah," LePage said.
"They're headed in the direction of killing a lot of people? Are you serious?" Heintz asked.
LePage said he was "very serious," adding that the agency would be rationing health care.
"They ration health care in Canada," LePage said. "That's why a lot of people from Canada come down to the U.S."
LePage first compared the IRS to the Gestapo on Saturday during his weekly radio address. He later backtracked on the comments, following an outcry from Jewish and other groups. The head of the IRS workers union also demanded an apology, saying such rhetoric could endanger employees.
LePage's most recent remarks came Thursday, at a fundraiser for Vermont GOP gubernatorial candidate Randy Brock.
Brock later accused Heintz of not asking fair questions, an assessment repeated by LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett. She did not attend the event, but said Thursday it was clear that Heintz "had an agenda."
Bennett said LePage's chief concern is that health care might be rationed under the law. LePage did not mean to keep repeating the comparison to the Gestapo, she said. What the governor fears is that rationing under the Affordable Care Act might leave elderly people without care, and LePage had tried to convey that concern when he clarified his remarks later in Thursday's interview, Bennett said.
According to the Times Argus in Montpelier, Vt., Brock had a separate news conference after the LePage interview, during which he attempted to distance himself from his guest's remarks.
"Those are not words I would use," said Brock. "I believe that he may have been using hyperbole, but in point of fact it's not something I said, it's not something I believe, it's not something that I would say."
Brock did say that LePage was a friend.
Heintz asked LePage if he thought his comments were insensitive.
LePage said, "Well, let's put it this way. I apologize to Jewish Americans if they feel offended. But I also apologize to Japanese Americans that were put in prison during World War II, and I also apologize to those people that were accused of being communists during McCarthyism, because that's not the American way."
Heintz then asked if he thought the IRS would imprison people.
LePage said: "I don't know. I don't know. I just know that I'm a product of the American dream. I came from nothing and have been modestly successful. I have not had to worry about the IRS telling me I have to do things. I'd like to have my independence."

Our Story
Three decades ago, the California Central Coast had yet to emerge as one of North America's world-class winegrowing regions. With little history or viticultural precedent, planting on the Central Coast was a gamble. One of an early handful of pioneers, Jerry Lohr was among the first to realize the vast, untapped potential of this now-acclaimed region with the establishment of J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines.
In the late 1960s, Jerry began an extensive investigation of California grape growing regions while searching for the ideal location for a vineyard. Raised on a South Dakota farm, his agricultural roots armed him with an innate sense for the intricacies of climate, soil quality and location. His research and instincts led him to the Central Coast, a unique location with one of the longest growing seasons in all of California. Selecting the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County for his first vineyard, Jerry planted his original 280 acres of varietal grapes in 1972 and 1973, and unveiled his San Jose winery in 1974.
Borrowing a lesson from the French— that great Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon excel in very different growing conditions—Jerry began planting Cabernet Sauvignon and other red varietals in San Luis Obispo County's little-known Paso Robles region in 1986. With the hands-on devotion of an artisan farmer, Jerry tended to the vines while diligently working toward the creation and development of an adjacent winery and barreling facility, which was completed in 1988.
Today, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines includes more than 900 acres of cool-climate estate vineyards in Monterey County, with an emphasis on Chardonnay, Riesling, Valdiguié and Pinot Noir, 2,000 acres in Paso Robles dedicated to Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Petite Sirah and other red varietals, and 33 acres in Napa Valley, highlighting Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc. From this rich and diverse palette of sustainably farmed estate fruit, J. Lohr crafts wines showcasing bold, concentrated flavors and a vibrant sense of place. The winery offers four tiers of award-winning wines – J. Lohr Estates, J. Lohr Vineyard Series and J. Lohr Cuvée Series. New to the signature portfolio is J. Lohr Gesture, limited-release wines available solely to tasting room visitors and wine club members.
J. Lohr remains one of the few estate-focused wineries of its size, and one of the last substantial independents to benefit from the longevity of management and the passion of a second generation of family members. Though it is operated with the loving care of a boutique winery, J. Lohr welcomes guests at two wine centers, one in San Jose and another in Paso Robles.
Our Mission
J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines is dedicated to producing flavorful wines that are the finest examples of quality and flavor from our given appellations. We are committed to honesty, excellence and service, with a respect for our employees, suppliers, customers, and the long-term health of our company and the environment.
Our People
Working alongside Jerry Lohr is a skilled and dedicated team of individuals, many of whom have been with J. Lohr for decades. EVP/COO and Director of Winemaking Jeff Meier has partnered with Jerry for 25 years to create wines that are the artistic expression of Jerry's vision. Rounding out Jeff's team are Red Winemaker Steve Peck and Assistant Winemaker Karl Antink, whose collective technical knowledge of winemaking practices, viticulture and fermentation science define a trio whose breadth and passion is unrivaled in the industry. Complementing their efforts is VP of Production David Mezynski, 31 years with J. Lohr; Paso Robles Vineyard Manager Steve Carter, 22 years; Senior VP of Sales Ken Lee, 23 years; and Arroyo Seco Vineyard Manager Agapito Vasquez, 20 years at J. Lohr. This longevity in leadership and expertise ensures the continuity of flavors, wine quality and long-standing industry relationships which have become the hallmark of J. Lohr wines.
J. Lohr has also been shaped by the acumen and commitment of a second generation of the Lohr family. Eldest son Steve Lohr is EVP/COO of the company's growing vineyard holdings, while sole daughter Cynthia Lohr spearheads corporate and product visibility efforts as vice president of marketing. Youngest son Lawrence Lohr is advocating wine appreciation as director of wine education.

Safe Alliance (formerly known as United Family Services) Domestic Violence programs and the Mecklenburg County Community Support Services' Women's Commission Domestic Violence services have joined forces in a collaborative effort to reach a wider audience by forming the Domestic Violence Speakers Bureau. The hope and goal is to reach more of the community by sharing resources and eliminating duplicate efforts.
United Family Services had managed a Speakers' Bureau over the past twelve years with a pool of staff, advocates and domestic violence survivors. "That will remain the same," states Karen Parker-Thompson, Chief Advancement Officer for Safe Alliance, "and the addition of the Women's Commission gives us a stronger knowledge base and an opportunity to accommodate more trainings, schools, social groups, and community health fairs."
Mike Sexton, Information & Education Coordinator with the Community Support Services Women's Commission will coordinate these efforts. "Safe Alliance and the Women's Commission DV Services bring a wonderful blend from two different perspectives when it comes to domestic violence services," says Sexton. "Safe Alliance is more crisis-oriented with the Shelter for Battered Women and Victims Assistance, while the Women's Commission offers programs and services geared toward self-sufficiency with a long term focus."

The Water Division manages and operates the City of Fresno's water system.The City delivers drinking water to about 500,000 urban residential, commercial, and industrial customers in over 114 square miles of the City, and many County Islands, within the City's Sphere of Influence.
Fresno's primary source of water is groundwater, coming from a natural underground basin, called an aquifer. Using approximately 260 wells, the Water Division pumps approximately 125 million gallons water per day (mgd). Peak water deliveries are much higher, topping 200 mgd. In addition to groundwater, the Fresno water supply is now supplemented with water delivered directly from the Sierra Nevada mountain range to our Surface Water Treatment Facility (SWTF), which supplies about 20 million gallons of water per day.
One of the most valuable water sources is water that is not used. Water conservation is the beneficial reduction in water use, waste, and loss. Conservation is the most economical and environmentally protective resource management tool, helping Fresno meet the many challenges of water supply management.
Click on Red Icon above to link to the Metropolitan Resources Management Plan Update EIR document under Important Documents METROPOLITAN WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN
In order to address various water issues and ensure the Fresno metro area has a reliable water supply through 2050, the City of Fresno invited other local water agencies to help develop the Fresno Metropolitan Water Resource Plan. The plan, which was adopted by the Fresno City Council in 1996, called for a conjunctive use program, combining groundwater, treated surface water, artificial recharge, and an enhanced water conservation program.

The late sir Rowland de Boys had three sons: Oliver, the eldest, hates the youngest, Orlando, whom he has steadily humiliated. Orlando is matched against the usurping Duke Frederick's deadly wrestler, Charles; the fight, which the youth wins, is watched by Rosalind, the banished Duke's daughter, and her cousin, Frederick's daughter Celia. Orlando and Rosalind fall immediately in love; Frederick, jealous of her popularity, banishes her; and in the disguise of a boy (Ganymede) she leaves with Celia (as Ganymede's sister) and the jester Touchstone, to find her father in the Forest of Arden, where he lives with a company that includes the melancholy courtier, Jaques.
Orlando and his faithful old Adam have also gone to Arden. The travelers arrive severally: Rosalind and Celia overhear the shepherd Silvius declaring his love for Phebe, a scornful shepherdess. Orlando becomes a member of the Duke's court, and hangs on the tree his love poems to Rosalind. When he meets her, unknowing, as Ganymede, she promises to cure him of infatuation "if you would be call me Rosalind, and come every day to my cote to woo me".
Meanwhile Phebe falls in love with "Ganymede," and Touchstone condescends to the country wench, Audrey. Oliver, whom Frederick has summarily banished to find Orlando, arrives in Arden; on hearing how Orlando has rescued his brother from a lioness – and seeing a bloodstained napkin – "Ganymede" faints. Oliver and Celia are now in love. Presently all the couples in Arden are united: Rosalind reveals herself to Orlando; and Oliver and Celia, Touchstone and Audrey, and even Silvius and Phebe, are in harmony. Frederick has decided to retire from the world into contemplation; the banished Duke is restored and Rosalind speaks an epilogue.

ASAP Hurricane Survival Kit
This week though, I am writing a review of a pre-packaged bag designed to provide a basic support system for two adults for two days (48 hours).
For food The Sentinel includes 12 emergency food rations, also from Mainstay. Each ration contains 400 calories, 23g of fat, 46g of carbohydrates and 3g of protein. In looking at the nutritional info regarding vitamins and supplements it appears that each bar - each 400 calorie ration - contains 50% or more of the recommended daily allowance of the major vitamins: A, B-6, C, D as well as calcium. The remainder are all rated between 10% - 40% (Iron, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Folic Acid, Vitamin B-12, Phosphorus, Magnesium. Recommended adult consumption is different for marine-based versus land-based environments. On land the directions indicate one bar per typical "meal" - equalling three bars per day per adult (1200 calories per day).
Yes, technology. Can man get through a day without it? The Sentinel provides three things I consider technology:
- A solar powered radio with AM/FM/NOAA frequencies. It is also capable of recharging your cell phone via USB port.
- A "Gizmo" LED headlamp made by Black Diamond. Running on one battery and providing 24 lumens of light it is sufficient to navigate in the dark and to do chores around your camp.
- Four Cyalume Chemical Lightsticks - each rated for 8-12 hours of "burn" time. (they may not be electronic but they definitely represent a modern technology)
Other "Survival" Tools:
- A "Fuse" Multi-Tool & its nylong carry pouch by Leatherman. Multi-tool contains:
- a knife blade
- scissors
- bottle opener
- can opener
- regular screwdriver - large
- regular screwdriver - small
- philips head screwdriver
- pliers
- wire cutters
- 8" ruler
- one first-aid kit from AMK which contains:
- Assorted first aid items
- compass
- emergency whistle
- one "pea-less" whistle by Fox 40 (and this thing is loud)
There are two remaining items included. The first is a Sharpie - permanent marker. I've known many a person who raises an eyebrow at the inclusion of a Sharpie - but those who have lived under emergency field conditions never seem to question it.
The second item is probably one of the most valuable in The Sentinel: it's a copy of Your Survival - The complete Resource for Disaster Planning and Recovery by Dr. Bob Arnot and Mark Cohen. The book includes a DVD titled "Your Survival". After the ForeWord, Introduction and some other information regarding online resources as well as icons used in the book, the book is composed of three sections:
- Before Disaster Strikes
- During an Emergency
- After the Crisis
The physical structure of the book was designed to allow you to put your own printed resource material in the section dividers and an elastic band is mounted to the back cover so you can stretch it around the front cover and secure the book closed for packing. The book itself is an excellent resource for planning and preparation - and I'll likely do a stand-alone review of it in the near future.
So you can see, The Sentinel is a pretty complete basic kit for two people trying to survive a 48 hour time span. There is room in the pack to add in your own necessities - toiletries, medications, clean undergarments, etc. If you take the time to price out everything that is included you see that the MSRP is not only pretty reasonable but actually more affordable than buying everything separate AND it's already packed for shipping to you. All you have to do is unwrap the items and place them in the pack where you want them dependent on access or need.
After I pack a few additional items into this one I think it's going to end up semi-permanently located in the back of my wife's Jeep... or in the trunk of my car.
Stay Safe!

Clinical Practice Guidelines by Tumour Type
The ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) are intended to provide oncology professionals with a set of recommendations for the best standards of cancer care, based on the findings of evidence-based medicine.

20 ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines are out in 2013 including three brand new ones: Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, Penile cancer and Gestational trophoblastic disease.


text: The Social Skills Picture Book: Teaching Play, Emotion, and Communication to Children with Autism is a book which uses pictures of real children to teach over 30 social skills such as conversation, manners, and empathy. I use this book frequently with older or higher-functioning children with autism and Asperger's syndrome. Because children with autism often learn better using visual supports, books like this are great tools for making complex social interactions more salient. I also really like that they used pictures of real children rather than cartoons or drawings. This helps show peer modeling in a 2-D situation. When I have used this book, I typically supplement it with video modeling and hands-on activities with peers. I have never used the book on its own, nor do I think that was the intention of the authors. I would strongly recommend this book to teachers, behavioral therapists, and speech therapists. It can also be useful for parents who are trying to teach social understanding to their child, or to use when a play date comes over.

The Samsung Galaxy Note now seems to meet all hardware and software technical requirements of this software so will Adobe be bringing out an Android version thats compatable with it now? Ok, its technically not a tablet I know (its a Phablet - hybrid of a phone and tablet) and Adobe will say its designed for a tablet only, but why? The Galaxy Note has an ample processor, GPU, screen resolution, IceCreamSandwich OS, stylus etc, and there are unoficial hacks available if your that way inclined which run fine on the Note, so its perfectly possible. If hackers/ coders can do it, why can or wont Adode do it officially and make the millions of Note users happy too?
For designers like myself it seems a major inconvenience to have to purchase yet another device if the one I already have which can do the job.
Come on Adobe, whats the hold up? At least explain WHY it cant supposedly support it (but we've seen it running so make it a good excuse please). Note users have had the excue of the OS not being capable but now ICS is out, there seems to be no more excuses.
Hi Zarrdave,
I'm followed up with our developers and regarding your question and it was suggested to create a feature request for adding support for Galaxy Note devices. The reasoning I was given was for why not was there hasn't been enough customer feedback yet requesting that it be implemented.
I created the following idea thread aka feature request asking to have it supported, please add your vote and encourage other Galaxy Note users to do the same.
Dave, you're a star (goes with the name I guess )
I shall add additional ideas thread for the other Touch apps too and will spread the word.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Just a thought, I suspect the forum isnt frequented by a large volume of Galaxy Note users. Is there anything Adobe can do in a more Galaxy Note user populated way to ask them for their thoughts. The Google Play store would be ideal but this doesnt support comments from those who havent bought the product, next would be the Adobe Touch Apps product page but I'm guessing that wont happen.
I'm spreading thw word but I'm still not convinced that my word will even get to a tiny portion of the Galaxy Note population yet I'm convinced from reading literally hundreds of posts on various forums that if the question was asked to Note users, the reply would be overwhelmingly that they'd want it.
Anything you can do from your end?

Sleepovers don't have to be stressful!
Preparing for a sleepover can seem like a daunting task. After all, you're the adult host of a horde of kids who just know it's going to be a great night full of fun and games! It doesn't have to be as complicated as you might think, however.Follow these easy steps for a stress-free, last-minute sleepover.
1. Lay out rules! It's your home, and you're the adult. Make sure your guests know the routine, what time is lights-out, and whether or not you allow certain video games or movies in your home. In my house, for example, we don't allow any phone calls after 9 p.m., sleepovers or not. We make sure everyone knows this ahead of time. Set boundaries, be firm about it, and you'll all be able to enjoy your evening that much better.
2. Make sure each parent has your contact info and you have theirs before kids are left in your care. You never know when someone will forget their medicine or need a goodnight from mom, and it's inevitable that if someone's going to get a scraped knee, it'll happen when they're at your house. At least, that's how it happens at mine.
3. Tell parents when to pick up their kids, even if they live down the street. If you have older children, make it clear what time everyone has to head home, or you'll have campers sleeping in and hanging out all day.
4. Do a quick health check if anyone has food allergies or other medical concerns that might need to be addressed. Find out from parents if certain foods (such as sodas or chocolate milk) are allowed, and whether their children can have the snacks and meals you've selected for the evening.
5. If you have pets, let parents know. Some kids are allergic or frightened of certain animals, and this could ruin what ought to be an enjoyable sleepover.
6. Keep lots of healthy snacks and meals on hand. Keep a variety of drinks, too. Use disposable cups and plates to keep the clutter down to a minimum -- it keeps you out of the kitchen and gives you more time for fun! Assign each child a single cup for the evening and write their name on it.
7. If you're renting movies, choose more than one title yourself (with input from your kids) and then allow your guests to decide for themselves which of these they want to watch. This way you each have a say in what's viewed. Rent movies on-demand so you don't have to take five kids to a movie-rental kiosk.
8. It's also a good idea to have some inexpensive toothbrushes on hand in case someone forgets theirs. If you save little sample packages of soap and shampoo, add them to a small box or container you keep on hand for the same reason.
Most importantly, don't sweat it! Decide ahead of time what the game plan is going to be and let it unfold comfortably and naturally, but stick to your house rules. You'll be the hero of the evening and everyone's sure to have a great time.Content by Kimberly Morgan.

Rehab Services Commission will become Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities this fall
The Columbus Dispatch - August 07, 2013 11:08 AM
The Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission isn't getting out of the rehabilitation business, but it is dropping the word from its name. On Oct. 1, the agency will be re-named Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities.
Director Kevin Miller said a recent study showed most Ohioans have no clue what the agency does. The vast majority of people who responded to a survey commmissioned by the agency said they thought it works with inmates and ex-offenders.
In fact, the agency's mission is to "ensure individuals with disabilities achieve quality employment, independence and disability determination outcomes through integrated services, partnerships and innovation."
More information on the agency and its programs is here.

INNISFIL —Town council wants the public school board to pour money it will receive from rooftop solar farms back into local schools.
Council gave its approval to roof-top solar panels on Innisfil public schools but asked that they financially benefit the local schools and their students.
Council's support gives the Simcoe County District School board "two points" in its bid to receive approval for the panels from the Ontario Power Authority.
Solar panels are planned for schools across Simcoe County, including Sunnybrae Public School, Nantyr Shores Secondary School, Killarney Beach Public School, Innisfil Central Public School and Cookstown Central Public School, which are all in Innisfil.
Innisfil council has a policy of asking for a local benefit from solar panels on Innisfil buildings. However, that policy is voluntary and is not enforced.
The school board expects to make about $1 million a year through solar panels, which will be installed and maintained by Mississauga-based AMP Solar Group.
Meanwhile, Innisfil also gave its support to a trucking company in Innisfil Heights to include solar panels on its building.
However, council turned down an application for a ground-mounted solar panel farm.
Rising Sun Community Power Corporation wants to cover a 21-hectare site on Lockhart Road with solar panels. The Ontario Power Authority now prohibits ground-mounted solar panels on prime agricultural land, but the soils are considered poor and the land is designated rural, not agricultural.
Mayor Barb Baguley said "absentee" solar-farm operators may not keep up maintenance on the property.
"These are not on schools. This is a lot of solar panels, adjacent to a residential area," she said.
Council unanimously turned down the application. However, the solar farm could still proceed if the Power Authority supports it without the municipality's backing.
